taken up his position, Whereupon he
called for his umbrella, and opening it
held it over his head with his left
hand, while with the right he held his
pistol. The representations of the
seconds had no effect upon him. cit is

famous essayist, "but 1 object to catch

other, taking deliberate aim, said to his
antagonist: "Wtll, now, before send
you into the other world, tell me W hat
you are thinking of"' az am think

RI julnder he owed his life.

TO THE POINT.

A iather said: "BilIy, if you had
your due you'd get good whipping"
81 know, daddy; but bills are not
always paid when they are due"
Equally clever was boy hearing of
wonders Of astronomy. "Men have
learned the distance Of the Stars" his
father said, Sand, with their spec.ros-
copes, found out what they were made
OFF, eyes" YVES the reply, "and isn't
it strange, pa, how they found out
their names also ?''
Leaving juvenile answers and inIn-
ing to those of grown. up persons, we
find that they are naturally more
clever than sharp. Perhaps the best is
that told at tho expense of the Irish
Chief Justice, Cauitieid, who was very
greedy. Only on one occasion did he
have II dinner party. and among the
guests Was rector of the parish. This
gentleman being asked to return
thanks al the conclusion Of the dinner,
referred i'll the following manner to
the weIi-ku"wn parsimony of the
host:
We thank the Lord, for this is nothing less
Than tho fall of mamma i'll the wilderness
In tho house OF famine wo hayo found re-
lief,
And know the comforts Of Il round of beef
ChimneyS have smoked that never smoii ed
before,
And we have d,ned where we shall dine no
more.
The Chief Justice stifled his feelings
and laughed with the rest but he
thought he had his revenge in asking
the clergyman to dinner on a subse-
quent day. He came, but when the
covers were taken OFT, the dishes were
empty! Caulfeid maliciuusly asked
the rector to say grace, and he, dlrn-
foundc l only for IL moment, rose aud
said
May He who blessed tho loavcs and fishes
Look down upon these empty dishes
For if they do our slomachs fill,
Twill surely DO Il miracle.
